History & tradition
The Lakshmikanta Temple is a Vaishnava temple at Kalale, a village in the Nanjangud taluk of the Mysore district of Karnataka. It dates back at least to the early 18th century and is built in the Dravidian style. The temple enjoyed the patronage of kings of the Mysore kingdom; it was expanded, and generous grants were made to it, by Dodda Krishnaraja I of the Wodeyar dynasty before about 1732. In the early 18th century Dalavoy Devarajiah of the Kalale family gave the temple a metal image of Rama. It is a protected monument.
